Funfair Hire in Milton Keynes

Milton Keynes is built around green space, with parks, lakes and linear parks running through almost every grid square, so outdoor events are part of city life. We supply staffed fairground rides, inflatables and side stalls to venues in Central Milton Keynes, Bletchley, Wolverton, Stony Stratford, Newport Pagnell, Olney, Kents Hill and Westcroft, and our crews handle every build, operation and pack-down.

Who do you ask to hold an event in a Milton Keynes park?

Most of the city's parks are looked after by The Parks Trust, a charity, rather than the council. Every event or organised activity on its land needs an event licence. The Trust asks for at least 12 weeks' notice for large or commercial events and 4 weeks for small ones, and organisers pay a licence fee and a land bond, which is normally returned if the ground is left in good condition.

A land bond is one more reason to protect the grass. Our Ground Protecting Boards spread the weight of vehicles and rides, and we walk the site with you afterwards so it is handed back as we found it. The Trust also asks organisers to hold their own public liability insurance, and we provide ADIPS certificates, risk assessments and £10 million public liability cover for our attractions.

Campbell Park, Willen Lake and the Lakeside Parks

Campbell Park hosts some of the city's biggest summer events, including the Milton Keynes Festival over the August bank holiday weekend, and its slopes and terraces make a natural amphitheatre. Lakeside spaces such as Willen Lake, Caldecotte Lake and Furzton Lake suit family fun days, where the Bumper Boats and Paddle Boats fit the waterside setting, and the Mini Ferris Wheel Ride gives young children a view over the water.

Central Milton Keynes and Corporate Events

The grid layout and wide boulevards of the city centre make deliveries easier than in most towns, and the free Midsummer Festival on Midsummer Boulevard shows how well the space works for families. Milton Keynes is also home to many regional and national offices, and their staff summer days often take place on business park lawns or in hotel grounds. The Team Building package keeps colleagues busy together, and a set of fairground stalls and games can be branded in your company colours.

Market Towns and Village Fetes

Stony Stratford, Olney and Newport Pagnell have their own fete and market traditions, and their high streets suit compact, traditional attractions rather than big modern rides. The Traditional Childrens Swing Boats need no generator, and a Coconut Shy Traditional Side Stall fits on a green or in a market square.

Getting Around the Grid Roads and Redways

Milton Keynes' grid roads make access straightforward for our vehicles, but many parks are crossed by redways, the shared paths used by cyclists and pedestrians. We plan vehicle routes and ride positions so redways stay clear for park users during the build and throughout the event, which is something the Parks Trust will want to see in your plans.

Schools and Community Groups

Milton Keynes has a young population and a lot of schools, so summer fairs are a big part of our local diary. Our children's funfair rides are sized for playgrounds and fields, and our staff run every queue so PTA volunteers can enjoy the day.
